    New Evolve S40

    "In 2003, Evolve built two “Evil Twin” S60 R’s for SEMA. For 2004, Evolve is back with this low-rider S40. Lightweight 19-inch wheels wrapped in nice, fat blubbers showcase 15-inch discs squashed by eight-piston aluminum calipers. Volvo isn’t one to falsely raise expectations, so underneath that black hood is an “extensively modified” five-cylinder based around a larger turbo and punishing the tarmac with an estimated 425 horsepower routed through Volvo’s electronically controlled Haldex all-wheel-drive system"

    I love the s60R's and its about time evolve makes some performance upgrades, instead of just body kits.

    damn the A-Spec heavier than the std RL. 3984lbs.. those kit really make it heavier... Still too heavy and also no turbo but faster than my current legend and SH-AWD. this is an A6,S60 AWD and E-Class 4matic rival.

    Ford
    Volvo
    Mazda
    Lincoln
    Jaguar
    Aston Martin
    Mercury
    Range Rover
    Land Rover

    So Jag and Aston Martin are POS's too?

    I think it's a pretty sweet car that has much potential as any other car...
